What is the safest way to transport firearms in a vehicle?

Unloaded and in a locked case
Loaded but kept in a gun rack
Hidden under the seat for easy access
With the safety on

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked case

In order to transport firearms safely in a vehicle, they should be unloaded and kept in a locked case. This ensures that the firearms are not accessible to unauthorized individuals and prevents accidental discharge. Option B, keeping them loaded in a gun rack, is not the safest option as it increases the risk of the firearms being accessed by unauthorized individuals or accidentally discharging. Similarly, option C, hiding them under the seat, also poses a risk of accessibility and accidental discharge. Option D, having the safety on, may not provide enough security to prevent unauthorized access or accidental discharge. Therefore, the safest way to transport firearms in a vehicle is to keep them unloaded and in a locked case.
